sendmail from SAP to external

I have configured the RFC, Scot and now my unix is able to sendmail to 3rd
party but when I send from SAPOffice, the mail does not go thru.
Any idea what is wrong between the SAP and UNIX.

When I check on the SCOT - System status - I notice that all the mail are in
waiting queue.

Am I miss out some parameter to configured

Any way to test the connection between SAP and Unix

If you have documents in wait queue in SCOT, you have to send the documents
by scheduling the job or manually forward the INT objects (SCOT -> Start
Send Process (CTRL+F7) -> INT). This will send the document.

sorry. i forgot to mention
tcode sost admin of external send process... here you get the mails sent,
waiting , failed due to error etc..
check the status of mails after running the reports

Did you schedule a B.G job to run at regular intervals to release these waiting mails (scot > view > jobs)? You can also release them directly from SCOT (ctrl+f7 and type INT or * for addres type and release).

Hi Eric
Find herein after a procedure I use to implement "send mail from SAP to
External" on unix system.
You have to consider, those main steps:
1. Configure SAPCONNECT (TCode SCOT)
2. Install and configure IMG (Internet Mail Gateway)
3. Create a IMG_node which will point to an external program of IMG
4. Confgure a mailing system such as sendmail software which is distributed
by default on all Unix plateform

Introduction
------------
SAP can be configured to send and receive emails from different sources.
This section explains how to integrate SAPOffice with an external email
system. Your Internet email must be configured and running prior to this.
Email from SAP is forwarded to the users external email system..
You can configure inbound and outbound forwarding. Outbound flow forwards a
SAP message (eg: update termination) via UNIX sendmail to the intended
recipient. Inbound accepts a message from sendmail and places it in the
users SAPOffice inbox. Many companies prefer to configure outbound only.

I have gone thru the configurations u have mentioned.
but i have a specific question to the config u r specifying

The question is

"can u send a standard text along with the email"
i.e. if u r sending an invoice to the customer thru sendmail from sap to external email address. Can u send the standard msg as the body of the email so that the email looks like a normal mail with a subject, a standard body msg (dear customer, encl. pl. find ur invoice raised today. pl. pay within 15 days. thanku) and an attachment (invoice).

Look at reports ccuinit and ccueval, but I don't think they go down to
server level.... also, these reports show concurrent logons....

For total logons, I think you would have to set up Security Audit Logging -
sm18,sm19,sm20.

Another thought, you could write a tiny abap which gets the number of users
with today's date as last logon date (usr02), and schedule a batch job to
run it just before midnight each night. And I guess you'd need to keep the
result somewhere for future reference.
